There is a size limit for the pcap-log file that can be set. The
default limit is 32 MB. If the log-file reaches this limit, the file
will be rotated and a new one will be created. The pcap-log option
has an extra functionality for "Sguil":http://sguil.sourceforge.net/
that can be enabled in the 'mode' option. In the sguil mode the
"sguil_base_dir" indicates the base directory. In this base dir the
pcaps are created in a Sguil-specific directory structure that is
based on the day:

$sguil_base_dir/YYYY-MM-DD/$filename.<timestamp>

(and if necessary modify) the base dir in the suricata.yaml file.

Remember that in the 'normal' mode, the file will be saved in
default-log-dir or in the absolute path (if set).
The pcap files can be compressed before being written to disk by setting
the compression option to lz4. This option is incompatible with sguil
mode. Note: On Windows, this option increases disk I/O instead of
the compression option to lz4.
Note: On Windows, this option increases disk I/O instead of
reducing it. When using lz4 compression, you can enable checksums using
the lz4-checksum option, and you can set the compression level lz4-level
to a value between 0 and 16, where higher levels result in higher
